A single question. During ‘lockdown’ did you perhaps bend the rules and meet up with one or two people, maybe even having a glass of wine or a beer. I know I did…….

Honestly ….. no I never .. I had to keep myself safe and well to be able to come to work
I can honestly say no I didn't. I followed every rule. My social life was the weekly shop in Tesco.

I tried to limit myself to 18 colleagues after a busy press conference and sod the social distancing.
Nope. The only thing I did was daily exercise/walks and on the day that the restrictions changed to allow travel, drove a 8 hour round trip to sit at the end of the garden so I could see my parents for a short while.
No cheese or wine in sight. Im sure lots of people ignored the rules. But, a lot of people adhered to the rules because they were told it was for the greater good. And those people have a right to be annoyed at a flagrant abuse of the rules by those who set them.
You might be comfortable with people in power seeing themselves above it all but I am most definitely not. Especially given the sacrifice of many.

No I didn’t, aside from going out to get some bits of shopping for my mum once a week, I never left the house to socialise which, by the end of both long lockdowns, was beginning to effect my mental health
No, I didn't. And neither did pretty much everyone that I know or work with.
Its probably because you are more casual about breaking those rules (not bending, breaking) that you are unable to understand why those of us who didn't are so incandescent at an absentee government that treats its citizens, who have been broadly incredible in the face of this, with such total contempt.

I didn’t leave the house for about 6-8 weeks and was going stir crazy. When they allowed bubbles to form, which we did with close friends who had similarly been locked up, and the weather changed, we would indeed sit outside (never inside) two meters apart and have a glass of wine and a conversation. It kept us sane…..

I did, but in light everything that's come out since then (including Cummings) I regret not doing it sooner. My mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer in mid/late April, I waited until late May/ early June before I sourced a car to drive up (200miles). I stayed at my mates for a couple of weeks just so I could sit out in the garden with my dad each evening until my mum was out of hospital. I was still working throughout this time. I know staying at my mates was against the rules but we took precautions (pcr test before going) and both of us were working from home. I was scared to death of infecting my parents so everything was socially distant, couldn't hug them. I regret not going sooner and feel like a complete mug given what's come to light. I also feel very guilty for going.
No cheese and wine unfortunately.

I am a big exponent of living your life. Cause you never know whe it will end, or that of your loved ones.
Yes, don't Galavant around. But see your loved ones.
We have had this hanging over us for 2 years. If our so called government doesn't care for their own rules, why should we.
